Functional brain imaging studies have improved our knowledge of the neural localization of language functions and the functional reorganization after a lesion. However, the neural correlates of agrammatic symptoms in aphasia remain largely unknown. The present fMRI study examined the neural correlates of morpho-syntactic encoding and agrammatic errors in continuous language production by combin...

In this paper, I argue for a new, theory-neutral approach to polarity effects resting upon the idea that the choice of marker for a given feature specification is determined by the choice of marker for a minimally different specification. In paradigms instantiating polarity effects, the matching of morpho-syntactic and phonological features proceeds by natural class based-rules, but is partly o...

A seroepidemiological study carried out on 800 stored serum samples collected between January 1999 to December 2000 derived from an urban population in Malaysia showed that the overall seropositive rate of human paravovirus B19 infection was 37.6%, with an overall geometric mean titre (GMT) of 18.3 IU. The seropositive rates of B19 among the male and female populations were 39.0% and 36.3% resp...

Recently a parvovirus called bufavirus (BuV) has been implicated as a causative agent of diarrhoea. To further reveal the epidemiology and genetic characteristics of BuV, this study was performed in Turkish children with diarrhoea. BuV was detected in 1.4% (8/583) of stool samples. All stool samples from healthy children (n = 148) were negative for BuV. Diarrhoea in BuV-positive patients was se...

Nonparenteral transmission might contribute to human parvovirus 4 (PARV4) infections in sub-Saharan Africa. PARV4 DNA was detected in 8 (0.83%) of 961 nasal samples and 5 (0.53%) of 943 fecal samples from 1,904 children in Ghana. Virus concentrations ≤ 6-7 log(10) copies/mL suggest respiratory or fecal-oral modes of PARV4 transmission.

Hence J2(2|7) = ∅ and consequently J(2|7) = {0, 3, 6, 26}. For all the other primes p 6= 7 from 5 up to 1061 we find that J1(2|p) = {0, (p− 1)/2, p− 1} ∪ T (2|p) ∪ {p− 1− r : r ∈ T (2|p)} where T (2|p) are listed in Table 1 if T (2|p) 6= ∅. Moreover, J1(2|p) = ∅ which implies J(2|p) = {(p− 1)/2, p− 1} ∪ T (2|p) ∪ {p− 1− r : r ∈ T (2|p)} in this range. p T (2|p) p T (2|p) p T (2|p) p T (2|p) p T...

Accidental hypothermia was considered to be a rare condition in adults (Rees, 1958). Within the past few years evidence has accumulated which shows that far from being a rare event, accidental hypothermia is a common condition in this country, especially during the winter months (EmslieSmith, 1958; Duguid, Simpson, and Stowers, 1961; Prescott, Peard, and Wallace, 1962; and Brit. med. J., 1963)....

The following examples give evidence to the following conjecture contained in my paper [2]. All the main theoretical results can be found in that paper. Conjecture 1. Let d be a positive integer and ~s ∈ N. Then the set J(~s|p) is finite for every prime p. Example 2. The first example we would like to do is about the partial sums of ζ(2) series. The prime p = 7 is a little different from the ot...

In this paper, I propose that Croatian relative clauses (RCs) introduced by the complementizer što ‘what/that’ do not form a homogeneous class with respect to their derivation: some are derived by movement, and some are derived by a non-movement strategy. Unless the relativized element is the subject, što-RCs normally require a resumptive pronoun to appear in the site of relativization. However...
